Rather than deforming the surface of the model using a standard 2D alpha, it uses a vector displacement map, making it possible to generate complex 3D geometry, complete with undercuts. Multi Vector Displacement Mesh: sculpt with РІР‚В3D alphasРІР‚в„ўР”Р„nother major new feature is the Multi Vector Displacement Mesh system (MVDM or just VDM): effectively a 3D version of the softwareРІР‚в„ўs existing alpha sculpting functionality. In his demo, Drust showed the system in action to add articulation to the joints of the female figure above, simply by Booleaning a pre-made peg-and-hole joint with the characterРІР‚в„ўs knees and elbows.Р”Р„nother demo showed the toolset in use to design a matrix mould, using the real-time preview to show cross-sections of the outer shell, and the standard sculpting tools to fix any thin spots on its walls. One group of users who will particularly benefit from the new Live Booleans toolset are those creating designs for 3D printing, like props or collectible figures. РІР‚СљLive Booleans allow you to create shapes faster: things that would take a long time using conventional techniques,РІР‚Сњ said Pixologic creative development manager Joseph Drust. The operations only change topology along the surfaces of intersection between SubTools, meaning that you can also use Live Booleans with retopologised geometry generated by the softwareРІР‚в„ўs ZRemesher tool.Р”В«ooleans also preserve Polypaint and material data from the original SubTools.Р”Р„nd since operations follow a modelРІР‚в„ўs existing hierarchy, itРІР‚в„ўs also possible to adjust the output of complex multi-Boolean set-ups by reordering parts in the SubTool palette. That includes the InsertMultiMesh brush, making it possible to create very complex forms indeed. Works with existing geometry types and sculpting toolsР”Р„s well as simple primitives, the system works with subvided geometry and DynaMeshes, making it possible to use ZBrushРІР‚в„ўs standard tools to sculpt on top of a Boolean while it is still live. To judge by the demos from the Livestream, the conversion process is pretty fast, even on complex models: the multi-million-poly helmeted bust above processed in under 25 seconds. Once a design is finalised, the render preview can be converted to actual geometry using the new Make Boolean Mesh command.

It lets users perform standard Boolean operations РІР‚вЂњ union, subtraction and intersection РІР‚вЂњ non-destructively as a render-time effect, making it possible to edit the original SubTools and see the result update in real time. Live Booleans: a dynamic, non-destructive, real-time Boolean modelling systemР”Р‡or many artists, the key addition in ZBrush 4R8 will be Live Booleans, a new real-time Boolean modelling system along the lines of ModoРІР‚в„ўs MeshFusion toolset.

Most people expected it to ship within a few months, but since then, Pixologic has maintained radio silence РІР‚вЂњ as you can see by the increasingly despairing series of user comments on our original ZBrush 4R8 story.Р”Р„s a result, todayРІР‚в„ўs Livestream was a complete РІР‚вЂњ and very welcome РІР‚вЂњ surprise: while users hoped that the firm would announce a release date for ZBrush 4R8, few expected that release date to be the same day.

Updated: The release is available to download now.Р”Р„n unexpected release for an unexpected updateР”Р‡irst announced at PixologicРІР‚в„ўs ZBrush Summit user event last year, ZBrush 4R8 was an unexpected extra stop on the way to the even-more-long-awaited ZBrush 5: the next commercial release of the software. The release was due to become available within an hour of todayРІР‚в„ўs Livestream showcasing the new features РІР‚вЂњ that is, by 4pm PDT РІР‚вЂњ so if youРІР‚в„ўre lucky, it should be out by the time you read this.

Pixologic has announced that ZBrush 4R8, the long-awaited update to its sculpting software, will ship today.
